The cycleway is 38 km from Prestons to Old Windsor Rd, so one end and back makes 76 km. Maybe you did 7 km to and fro the start ?

I haven't noticed any worrying cracks south of Westlink office. North of Deans Park there are some poorly designed pit lids. Some have been vandalised (e.g. the one Rockford came to grief on), others abutting the motorway concrete fences just look like they've always had nasty gaps.

Cycling over the pit lids is a bit risky - like stepping on footpath cracks, it's best avoided. Since Rockford's stack, Westlink have been busy filling bitumen gaps (heaps of new bitumen snakes). Maybe that makes it look like there's a bigger problem than it is.

Somebody has to do something, and it's just incredibly pathetic that it has to be us -Jerry Garcia

Just back from a M7C end to end and back, only one MBSO this morning, I was heading south about the GWH and he was heading north, very noisy.

Right down the south end, a service vehicle is coming the other way slowly, I slow, just as I pass it a rabbit runs out from the grass at side, probably waiting for car to pass, very close, only missed it by a hare's breadth... funny thing was he (or she) was still there when I was coming back... must be getting close to Easter.

Problem with acronyms is one acronym can have several meanings.. so I joined USA, Unique Standard Acronyms which is enforcing one acronym=one meaning.... powerful group, I saw Obama is president...

Either zozza hard at work, or he's inspired others to help with it or maybe some clean-up Australia activities have helped.

'onya if it was your handiwork again Zozza.
